On 30 August, the Handover Inauguration Ceremony for the 43rd 44th Council of The Teo Yio Association of Thailand took place at the Teochew Association of Thailand. Dato Seri Dr Derek Goh BBM(L), Chairman of the Teochew International Federation and President of the Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan (Singapore), attended the event. Nearly 400 overseas Teochew community leaders and clansmen gathered to witness this historic handover.
The 43rd Chairman, Mr Li Guixiong, formally handed over the official seal to the 44th Chairman, Mr Lin Wei., marking the inauguration of the new council. President Goh congratulated the new team on the association’s 80th anniversary. He praised overseas Teoyio Chinese for their contributions to Thailand and described the transition as a legacy of Teochew spirit and hometown bonds. In his inaugural address, Lin Wei thanked past leaders. He promised to uphold ancestral values, promote Teochew culture, expand global Teochew networks and support charity work. This visit strengthened the bond between our two associations. We wish The Teo Yio Association of Thailand continued prosperity and lasting success.
